SUMMARY:Explore the Richmond Uprising Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In both the Richmond Bread Riot of 1863 and the ongoing protests against police brutality\, we hear the voice of people who suffer from inequitable systems – in 1863\, it was food distribution and inflation; now\, it is systemic racism in the law enforcement and criminal justice system. Though not the same\, placing the two protests side-by-side suggests enduring questions about protesting in America. Why are people compelled to do it? What happens when those in authority do not listen to the cries of their citizens? Is there a legitimate or illegitimate way to protest? What kind of solutions can protestors force authorities to concede\, if any? Join us in thinking about these questions in this virtual exhibit.

SUMMARY:Watch the National Youth Summit on Japanese American Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:During World War II\, the United States government forcibly removed over 120\,000 Japanese Americans from the Pacific Coast. These individuals\, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens\, were sent to ten camps built throughout the western interior of the United States. Many would spend the next three years living under armed guard\, behind barbed wire. In this webcast\, the panelists explored this period in American history and considered how fear and prejudice can upset the delicate balance between the rights of citizens and the power of the state.

SUMMARY:American Conversations Essay Contest
DESCRIPTION:American Conversations is an essay contest open to residents of Founders’ Place Historical District\, Inc. between the ages of 17 – 29. This is our second year to participate in Civic Season and to offer the essay contest as a way to engage you people in expressing their ideas about our history and civic questions. This year’s topics are:\n– According to Merle Haggard’s 1971 song Okie from Muskogee\, “we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse.” Is the flag as important a symbol in American life today as it was in generations past? How do your ideas about the flag differ from your parents’ or grandparents’ generation?\n– How are you committed to making America\, and in particular Muskogee\, a better place? What things have you done to ensure the future of our city and country remains not just strong\, but also just and equitable\, supporting the ideals on which our country was founded?\n– What does it mean to “be an American”? Should civics be taught in school again as a stand-alone class? It has been proposed that everyone pass a citizenship test to vote. Is this a good idea?\n– Our neighborhood\, Founders’ Place\, was carved out of the allotment given to Chief Pleasant Porter under the Dawes Act. How do you see tribal sovereignty and the common public good coming together in Oklahoma or our country? How could we in Founders’ Place acknowledge the Native lands our homes are built on\, or should we? Did any well-known Native Americans live in our neighborhood? How could they be honored?\n– Is democracy more about individual rights and freedoms or the collective good? Should the rights of the individual supersede those of society? Is it possible to balance both\, so that singular individual freedoms do not overpower the democracy of the whole? Give examples. \nPrizes are given for the best essay submissions. The contest runs parallel with our neighborhood home decorating contest from Juneteenth to July 4th.

SUMMARY:THE SANDERS-BULLITT FAMILY PAPERS
DESCRIPTION:A reworking of the Bullitt family papers to highlight the people enslaved by the Bullitt family on the Oxmoor plantation and the Cottonwood plantation from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. One of these families includes the Sanders family\, headed by Eliza Sanders and her husband\, Jim Sanders. While not all people enslaved by the Bullitt family were tied by blood to the Sanders family\, the digitization and exhibition of these sources aim to recognize all of the people and families enslaved by the Bullitt family and bring academic attention to the complex community they fostered among each other while in bondage. This digital collection only represents a small\, selective portion of the Bullitt Family Papers\, and you can access the finding aid for the entire collection here: https://filsonhistorical.org/research-doc/bullittfamilyoxmoor-html/.

SUMMARY:Women's Suffrage: The Movement in Louisville
DESCRIPTION:Only 100 years ago\, in 1920\, the 19th Amendment was ratified\, granting women the right to vote in the United States.\nThe fight for ratification was long and difficult for suffragists across the country\, but it wasn’t just a battle of national organizations and well-known leaders. Suffrage was gained through the hard work of women from every community and every walk of life. Suffragists were not all wealthy or influential\, but they were all determined to make their voices heard. The long-term results of their struggle are clear a century later: their efforts led to a breakdown of barriers that once barred women from realizing their potential as politicians\, professionals\, leaders\, and human beings. \nThis exhibit shares items from the Filson’s collections that document the suffrage movement in Louisville.

SUMMARY:In 1868\, Black suffrage was on the ballot
DESCRIPTION:Every election season in the United States revolves around a set of issues—health care\, foreign affairs\, the economy. In 1868\, at the height of the Reconstruction\, the pressing issue was Black male suffrage. When voters went to the polls that November\, they were asked to decide if and how their nation’s democracy should change to include Black men\, millions of whom were newly freed from slavery. It was up to voters to decide: should Black men be granted the right to vote?

SUMMARY:Women at Work Digital Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Women have been working side by side with each other and with men – fathers\, brothers\, partners\, husbands\, sons – throughout human existence. The theme “women at work” should therefore cover millennia. Being not so ambitious\, this exhibit seeks to illuminate women’s professional roles in only a snippet of American history: the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
